Your relationship with an investor-friendly realtor will be crucial here.4.

I know in Virginia my friend had a similar issue (side-by-side duplex, though, not second floor) and he was not proactive, just warning them several times verbally.

It probably be best as a friends-and-family type loan, but I don’t have anyone around me that is an appropriate lender.If I have to, I can put the funds in myself, but its inconvenient, and would come from investments that would need to be sold, taxed, etc.

My gay friends loved it.

One of my close friends in the busines had a similar setup.. her husband was also a contractor, and together they tackled a fixer-upper that ended up netting them a solid profit on their first deal.When you’re hunting for the right property, I’d lean on a realtor who really understands investor math... someone who’ll help you break down potential cash flow or resale value.

I also have a friend/sub-contractor with 40 years experience in all areas of construction who works with me on most of my deals for low cost labor.

Once you graduate and have a steady income, consider house hacking as a beginner-friendly strategy—buying a small multifamily property, living in one unit, and renting out the others to offset your mortgage.

Was wondering if anyone has used a Binishell home as a STR? More to the point has anyone purchased land and found a contract to build a concrete dome home. If so what was your experience and would you do it again?

On paper we were slightly in the red but much of that is due to one-year expenses/repairs & allowable transportation costs to get up to the property for work days ourselves. 

I honestly thought to myself that both NY and Cali were very tenant friendly...
